Holidays to Kalithea ensure that visiting tourists are not left wanting in terms or excitement or facilities but the overriding theme is relaxation. Families and couples will love this resort and the towns and cities that are so close by.
Rock pools and coves
The beaches of Kalithea present a combination of sandy and smooth rocky areas to lie out on. Oasis Beach has large rocks sitting by the sands while there are also coved areas to grab some shade.
Niolas Beach is one of the sandier options but there are still formations of rock pools around which provide great areas for kids to paddle in. When the sand gets too hot there are walkways to get you from land and into the clear waters.
There is also a private mini-beach but if you pay just €3 you can spend all day by this beautiful bay. There is an array of exciting aquatic life swimming by the bay such as squids and octopuses so strap on your snorkel to see these creatures swim throughout the underwater caves.
